"Saw" Writers Hired for New "Halloween" Film

The last "Halloween" film we got was Rob Zombies "Halloween 2," which was released in 2009 and earned only $39 million worldwide. Since then, Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry, My Bloody Valentine) was attached to direct a reboot, but ended up dropping out.

Now comes word that Dimension Films has hired Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the writers behind several "Saw" films and "Piranha 3DD," to write a new "Halloween" movie, which has been described as a "recalibration," rather than a remake, reboot or a reimagining.

Very little is known about the new film, including what the story will focus on, the title or the release date. Stay tuned.
